5 Colts with something to prove in 2023
To put it bluntly, Kenny Moore was terrible in 2022 for the Colts.
Moore posted a career-worst year in Bradley’s first season as defensive coordinator.
After being brought in as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Moore failed to live up to his “lightning in a bottle” moniker that he had been known for in years past.
2022 was the first season that Moore failed to record a single interception during the season.
To top it off, Moore struggled with injuries that limited him to only 12 games in 2022.
“There was a point last year that I didn’t think I would be here,” Moore admitted this offseason.
Entering the last year of his contract, Moore must prove that he is still the player who was a model of consistency in the Indianapolis secondary from 2018-2021.
With fellow cornerback, Isaiah Rodgers, potentially set to miss extended time in 2023 as well as the departure of Stephon Gilmore this offseason, the need for a veteran voice in that young secondary room is all the more needed.
Moore has a tremendous opportunity to be that leader this season and show the Colts that he is still the “lightning in a bottle” player we’ve grown accustomed to seeing roaming in the slot.

Winter storm warning issued, Indianapolis expected to get 6+ inches of snow starting Sunday
How drivers can prepare for bad winter weather
This video offers tips from the Indianapolis Department of Transportation to help drivers navigate bad winter weather conditions.
The National Weather Service has upgraded a winter storm watch to a winter storm warning for central and southern Indiana, which is expected to receive up to 8 inches of snow on Sunday. The warning will remain in place from Sunday morning until Monday afternoon.
A watch was first issued for Indianapolis on Thursday afternoon. That’s meant to put people on notice that a severe storm could occur in the coming days, said NWS meteorologist Andrew White. A warning, on the other hand, indicates serious threats to travel, property and life in the coming hours.
Winter storm watches become warnings when there will be 5 inches or more of snow in a single event.
The NWS has “much more high confidence than we’ve had in a while” about heavy snowfall Sunday, White said.
During earlier predictions of the storm it was estimated Indy could see 8-10 inches of snow. The storm shifted south, changing those snow predictions.

Indy Parks Family Shelters will be open to all during normal business hours, which can be found at this link.
Symptoms of hypothermia and frostbite
Freezing temperatures carry the risk of cold-related injuries like frostbite and hypothermia, and it’s important to recognize the early warning signs of both conditions. Both can be prevented by bundling up and limiting time outdoors, and medical attention should be sought immediately if you suspect either condition.
Frostbite is a skin injury caused by prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, and it’s most common in parts of the body that are exposed, like hands, ears and noses. Damage caused by severe frostbite can be permanent. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, early warning signs include:
- Redness and pain in skin
- Numbness
- Firm, waxy skin
- White or gray-yellow skin
People may not know they’re experiencing frostbite because affected areas become numb.
Hypothermia is when the body’s core temperature drops below 95 degrees. Advanced hypothermia is a serious, life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. It’s prevented by staying in a warm environment and dressing appropriately for the cold. Per the National Weather Service, early warning signs of hypothermia include:
- Confusion
- Difficulty speaking
- Shivering
- Sleepiness
- Stiff muscles
Call an ambulance as soon as possible if you suspect frostbite or hypothermia. While waiting for medics, go indoors immediately, remove any wet clothing and bundle up in dry blankets. Areas with frostbite can be immersed in warm — but not hot — water. Drinking warm liquids can also be helpful, so long as they don’t contain alcohol or caffeine.
The National Weather Service warns that some groups, including infants, the elderly, outdoor workers, people with chronic illness and unhoused people are at increased risk for cold-related injuries.

Indianapolis Colts Injury Report: QB Anthony Richardson Ruled OUT Of The Season Finale
The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 18 of the NFL season ahead of their season finale Sunday game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson has been ruled OUT for Sundays game against the Jaguars due to a back injury. Richardson has been unable to practice all week, making it two weeks without a practice and now a second game he will miss due to the back injury. It was originally described as “soreness” but after further conversations with Richardson and the team it appears to be back spasms which Richardson said have occurred due to a “chronic” back condition. With Richardson OUT this Sunday he has now missed 17 out of 34 career games so far. It looks like another start for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco on Sunday in the Colts last game of the 2024 season.
Cornerback Juju Brents has been listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sundays game against the Jaguars due to a knee injury. Brents has practiced all week, for the second week in a row, in a bid to make his return from injured reserve. It appears he is in a similar situation to last week where it looked like he may have finally been activated only to be ruled out on the Saturday before the game. Hopefully this is the week he gets activated and gets to make his long awaited return to game time on Sunday. If he is unable to play expect the usual starting line up at cornerback of Jaylon Jones and Samuel Womack on the boundary and Kenny Moore in the nickel.

Abandoned vehicles along Indianapolis interstates will be towed during winter storm
How drivers can prepare for bad winter weather
This video offers tips from the Indianapolis Department of Transportation to help drivers navigate bad winter weather conditions.
Don’t leave your vehicle along the highway during this looming winter storm, unless you want it towed.
Indiana State Police is warning drivers that vehicles left along interstates specific to the Indianapolis area will be hauled away. With the winter weather right around the corner, troopers will be removing abandoned motor vehicles regardless of how long they’ve been there.
“Now, that doesn’t mean that you’re out of gas and you’re stuck on the road we’ll take it,” Sgt. John Perrine told IndyStar. “If you call us and let us know the situation then we can work with you. We can also help if you need help with a ride or a tow truck.”
While people normally have 24 hours to remove their vehicles from the side of highways, during winter weather, vehicles are quickly towed.
Perrine said these abandoned vehicles pose a hazard for other drivers and impede emergency response and the Indiana Department of Transportation’s ability to push snow out of the road. Stalled vehicles also can be a hazard for other cars if the roads are slick and icy, and plows need the shoulders of the road to pile up the snow.
Indianapolis has over 200 miles of interstate roads including I-74, I-69, I-465, I-70 and I-465.
What to do if your vehicle gets towed because of the storm
Indiana State Police uses different towing companies around the city.
You’re encouraged to reach out with information about the vehicle including the make, model and year and where it was potentially picked up from by calling the agency’s main number and pressing the option for commercial vehicle enforcement division.
